When there are oncoming vehicles, you must pull over into a siding in order to allow the other vehicle to proceed. This is done in some residential areas, in rural areas, it saves tons of money on on roads because we don't need extra width, and leads to slower speeds and safer more friendly residential streets.
There's a fairly large number of rural bridges in NZ that are one-lane (especially on the South Island). They are posted so that one direction has priority and the other direction has to yield.
I was reading about some streets in Wellington which aren't wide enough to park on. But people still try to park and complain when they get tickets for parking on the sidewalk. They sometimes get tickets. Sometimes city parking says it's OK as long as there is 1m of available sidewalk.

I mean, it seems to me like the answer is pretty simple. Don't park on that street.
